Bean exploration made simple
Tempted to try that new smoky variety of coffee beans? Or experimenting with roasts? Simply twist and lift the bean hopper to empty, exchange or refill it with fresh beans. The built-in grinder takes care of dosing for the ideal volume and consistency for every drink. Auto Purge means the taste won’t be compromised by any grounds left behind, as it clears out the remaining beans in the grinder between batches.
Beyond whole milk with plant-based mode
Automatically steam or froth the exact amount of milk needed for a deliciously balanced espresso drink. Simply fill up the included milk container with your chosen milk. If you’re vegan or like to try non-dairy, then plant-based drink mode allows you to use alternatives like almond, oat or soy drinks. These plant-based options are specially accommodated for in this fully automatic espresso machine.
The machine that says ‘clean me’
You can tick cleaning off the checklist with the guidance of notifications. Feel confident in keeping your home espresso machine in top condition with its handy cleaning cycle. You’ll know when it's time to run regular and longer-term cleaning cycles, like descaling, with the "clean me" notifications that keep it performing at its best.
Fast-heating Thermocoil technology
Water heats up quickly without the wait. Delicious espresso drinks will be in your cup in hardly any time thanks to the Thermocoil Technology that heats water to the ideal brewing temperature — and maintains it throughout the brewing cycle.
Certified Quiet Appliance by Quiet Mark
Start your mornings peacefully with the perfect espresso-based drink. This fully automatic KF8 espresso machine has been certified by Quiet Mark as one of the quietest machines in its category.
